Barrack Street is one of two major cross-streets in the central business district of Perth, Western Australia. Together with St Georges Terrace, Wellington Street and William Street it defines the boundary of the main shopping precinct of the central city.

Barrack Street commences at Barrack Street Jetty, and the adjacent Barrack Square. Moving in an uphill direction away from the Swan River, it passes alongside the Supreme Court Gardens and the Stirling Gardens. Crossing St Georges Terrace, Barrack Street then passes alongside the heritage-listed State Treasury Building and the Perth Town Hall. The town hall location was regularly utilised for special occasions – the Centenary of Western Australia celebrations in 1929, and the Royal Visit in 1901

Commercial buildings on the opposite side of the street give way to small retail businesses on both sides between Hay Street and Wellington Street.

The street terminates at Wellington Street continuing as Beaufort Street on and over the Barrack Street Bridge which crosses the Midland and Armadale railway lines. The Barrack Street Bridge was constructed in 1894.
